Pest-Free Takarunga Hauraki Peninsula

The Pest Free Takarunga Hauraki Peninsula kaupapa aims to tip the odds of regenerative success firmly in favour of native species on the peninsula, and in the surrounding wetland and marine environments, by removing introduced mammalian predators (i.e., rodents, possums, mustelids). From Esmonde Road to Maungauika, locals - individuals, groups, and organisations are proposing, funding, deploying, and managing community-run pest control lines in the neighbourhoods and reserves they love and call home 💚. Considered together, these distributed local efforts form a blanket of protection for us all, te taiao.
